Boston Is Unique A Chicagoan had been taken around Boston all day to observe her bulwarks, but had failed to observe any of those symptoms of paralysis which are acceptable to the Bostonian mind.

"Unique," mused the westerner, "I believe that word is derived from two Latin words, unus, one, and equ, horse. I think Boston is a unique town." Chicago Chronicle.

THE TOILET IN JAPAN. At Least Once Each Day the Nation Bathes—Pains of the Geisha Girls to Look Pretty. It must not be supposed that the fascinating little geisha acquires the exquisite prettiness and minute perfection with which, as we watch the graceful posturings and quaint bowings, she enthralls us, without trouble. . . . No, her toilet is as serious as it is perfect, from the crepon bows and coral pins that crown her elaborate coiffure to the white tabi socks, with a separate compartment for the great toe, that inclose her little feet, says the London Daily Pictorial. "La mode japonaise" seems most fittingly conceived. To imagine the plumb, childish faces, youthful figures, and perfectly turned necks of old Nippon under a toupee, or imprisoned in tight garments and high collars is difficult. At one time there was an absolute scare in artistic circles. The new Japan arising in the far east, in her haste to adopt western ideas, seemed also about to embrace its inconvenient garb of constraining ugliness. The empress and her court ladies ordered and wore—the fact is really appalling—costumes from Berlin! But fortunately the reaction of 1887 against the occidental included "made in Germany" garments, and since they are now, happily, only seen at court functions, they will not disfigure the charming geisha. By the bye, this poor little songstress is often cruelly misjudged by European travelers, who, generalizing from scanty experience, sum her up with about as much fairness and accuracy as if a Japanese passing through London docks were to describe English women as wearing a national costume of shawl and feathered hat, spending their days in consuming the malt beverage of the country, and having a limited, but extremely forcible, vocabulary. The geisha is, in fact, as public entertainer in much the position of a concert singer or reciter. You want your entertainment to go, so you will apply to the geishaya agency, who send you a troupe of hard-working little artistes who will sing, dance and ask conundrums in turn, to the guests' delight. That they devote their lives to the art of being charming but proves their capacity and thoroughness. In Japan the great unwashed is nonexistent. The nation bathes—or rather boils—(for the baths heated by charcoal stoves are usually about 110 degrees Fahrenheit) at least once daily. Clothes, however, faded and patched, are always clean—they are actually unpicked to secure thorough cleansing; and finger nails of even working hands are delicately cared for. The barber plays an important part in the geisha's toilet. Few Japanese women do their own hair—the geisha never. But before the coiffure—a amazing fact—the razor! No least suggestion is intended that the Japanese, though strangely allied to the Ainu, share in any way their most conspicuous characteristic. Quite the contrary; but O-Sada-San has her preference for the removal of the almost invisible down on her clear yellow cheeks, throat, ears and the backs of her little hands. Tiny razors with oddly-shaped blades are used, and the operation usually lasts an hour. Then her hair, always long and abundant, is brushed with oil and gum; when this has slightly stiffened it is raised into strangely stylish bows affected by young Japanese women. The style of coiffure tells "the honorable age" in the far east. After the barber, the "make-up," In this O-Sada-San is an artist indeed. Did we not know her extreme fairness racially improbable, even the sunlight would not betray her, so perfectly does the paint lie on her now microscopically smooth face. A touch of carmine on the lips—perhaps a streak of gold also, a line of antimony beneath the bright slanting eyes, darking oil on lashes and brows, a shining hairpin or two, and perhaps a flower, are the finishing touches. The geisha studies a "tres chic" effect, an artfully artless simplicity in dress. Her "kimona" is of dark silk, her "dogi" or undergarment of some pale colored crepon dove, gray or cream; her 'tabi' purest white, and only in her huge "obi," (sash,) which is so large that it needs a small cushion to support it, is there any apparent display. Her silks are often out of all proportion to her income, being heirlooms, the products of old Japan handed down. A dark-colored fan with quiet design—a cloud, a poem, or famous signature—is worn in the "obbi." Her hanging sleeves are her pockets, in which she keeps sachets of powdered perfume a store of paper pocket handkerchiefs, and her little "kicero" (pipe). When ready to start she tucks up her kimona, dons a black silk wadded jacket or "rwi-gi," and winds a shaped piece of linen over her stiff and shining coiffure. She slips her "chamicen," three-stringed guitar, under her arm, takes a stout oiled paper umbrella and swinging paper lantern—it may be dark ere she returns—then she steps daintily into her high-lacquered "geta," clogs, which stand ready on the threshold. AUTOMATIC HAWK KILLING. The Unique Contrivance of a Northern Louisiana Farmer That Has Been Very Effective. Folks in the Smithsonian Institution and other authorities say that two or three kinds of American hawks are harmful to farmers, and that these are not so very harmful; the other kinds put in their time destroying field mice, rabbits, gophers and kindred fauna which work ill to crops. Robert Wyche, who raises cotton and such things in northern Louisiana, pays no attention to the scientists, however, says the New York Sun. There are 12 varieties of hawks in that country, and he believes that they all catch chickens. He is ready to make oath that he has killed more than one of each variety either in the act of swooping into his barnyard or perched upon a tree with a chicken in its talons. He declares that even the small sparrow hawk, most beautiful and diminutive of kites, will tackle chicks not more than two weeks out of the shell. Wyche has used blue-whistler buckshot upon the great gray hawks, almost as large as eagles, and duckshot upon the other varieties, until he has grown tired of it. It takes half a day of a farmer's time to circumvent and slay a gray hawk which has carried off a pullet. Blue whistlers are used on them because they are wary and must be picked off at 75 yards. An old negro told Wyche of a hawk-killing scheme which he has put into effect, and now he rests easily. Hawks perch only on dead trees, or bare limbs at a good height. They make themselves conspicuous in doing so, but are better able to look over the surrounding country and watch for prey. Wyche made a strong pole 50 feet long by nailing scantlings together. Then he took an old scythe, ground and whetted its edge to razor keenness and tied it transversely to one end of the pole with the sharp edge down. Then he set the pole up firmly 200 yards from the barnyard and waited. Within an hour a black hawk lit on the scythe, grasped it with its talons in order to steady itself on the narrow upper edge, and cut its feet badly. It glanced down and struck at the scythe viciously with its beak. It was cut again, and made crazily angry by the scent of its own blood, which always happens; a broken-winged hawk will attack anything, big or little, that comes within its reach. It drove its beak once more against the seythe and fell to the ground with its head cut open. Wyche has killed a lot of hawks with the seythe. Sometimes when their feet are cut they fly away, but this does not happen often. Almost always they attack the steel with their beaks, or swoop against it and are slain. One of Them Escaped, Somehow. The wild pigeon, which existed in countless millions 40 or 50 years ago, is practically extinct, so far as this country is concerned. Some idea of how it has become extinct may be gathered from an incident which occurred in Chicago. The last wild pigeon seen in Chicago, so far as known, was encountered one morning in 1894 by Edward B. Clark, an ornithologist and bird-lover. He was strolling through Lincoln park, a favorite resort for birds, and saw the pigeon sitting on the topmost bough of a tree. He was examining it with interest through a powerful field-glass and feasting his eyes on its beautiful plumage, when a hasty exclamation from some one behind him caused him to turn his head. A middle-aged man was looking hungrily at the bird. "Good gracious!" said the man. "That's a wild pigeon! It's the first one I've seen for 30 years. I wish I had a gun!"—Youth's Companion. An Appropriate Comment. "Gad zooks!" ejaculated the court jester as the monarch, full of sack and humor, waggishly swatted a fawning courtier half way across the apartment just because he happened to think of it. "Od-zounds! That's what you'd call a belted earl, or I don't know the symptoms." And the bon-mot so pleased his royal scrappiness that he very promptly granted the fool a life pension for total disability.—Judge. --- A LITTLE NONSENSE.

The Washington Office Offers Greater Conveniences as to Keeping Open Than Those of Other Cities. "There is one feature of the postal system in which all people are more or less directly interested, but which was undeveloped by postal officials until a comparative recent date," remarked a postal clerk, according to the Washington Star, "and that feature is the offering of facilities to patronize certain branches of the system to working people and others whose daily pursuits keep them confined during the hours when the different 'windows' in large post offices are usually 'open.' "As the Washington city post office was among the first to act, the post offices at St. Louis and Erie, Pa., I understand, claiming initial honors for departing from the regulation hours of selling money orders, the results attained at our city post office will prove of interest. In fact, no post office in the United States, and I do not except the city post office in New York, offers greater facilities to the public than does the Washington city post office, and this city is entitled to all the credit which attends this fact. The Washington city post office is a model office, and one of which the department is justly proud. Its corridors at night until gray dawn are brilliantly illuminated by electric light. At all hours of the night and during the early morning a patron may obtain stamps of any reasonable quantity, write a letter upon the arm-rests provided for that purpose, purchase one money order or a dozen, register a letter, or receive his mail at the general delivery window at three o'clock in the morning as conveniently as at three o'clock in the afternoon. Our office is one of the few 'all night offices' in the United States, and the fact that $400 from money order sales alone was taken in on a recent Saturday night after the usual closing hour shows the amount of business done at night, while the registry receipts and stamp sales are of corresponding volume. "What is termed 'night service' is in operation in most of the larger post offices in the country, but it terminates in some instances at midnight. The great practical benefit to the public may thus briefly be shown: A workingman who is obliged to be at his post at seven a. m. and who quits at six p. m. cannot avail himself of the privilege of purchasing money orders or registering letters when these 'windows' open an hour or so later than his own day begins and close an hour before or at the time when his working day terminates. He is obliged to send a messenger to the post office or lose his time and go himself. Trainmen, actors, the traveling public, night workers in the various trades and all of the thousands of toilers who are awake when others are asleep find the 'night service at the Washington city post office and other post offices where it has been established of the greatest utility, while the general postal service derives considerable increased revenue." Indignity to a Famous Table. A piece of furniture of great historic interest has been turned to unworthy uses. The old table of the house of commons was reduced from the great fire which destroyed, in 1834, the chapel of St. Stephen's. It has been for the last 70 years reverentially preserved, and is now located in the members' tea room of the house of commons. It has lately been converted every afternoon into a tea table, and is decked with a white tablecloth, on which are placed a hot-water urn and a tray containing teacups. The table from different sides of which Pitt and Fox thundered, and on which Burke placed his notes when he pleaded for conciliation with America and denounced the excesses of the French revolution, surely might have been spared such degradation.—London News. A pious lady of Portsmouth had a husband who was a seaman. He was about to start on a protracted voyage, and as the wife was anxious as to her husband's welfare, she sent the following notice to the village preacher: "Mr. Blank, who is going to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the congregation." As the old lady was quite illiterate, the minister read the following to the congregation from the slip handed to him: "Mr. Blank, who is going to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation."—London Tit-Bits.
